Did you know, that March 14 is National Children’s Craft Day? If you ask us, its the perfect opportunity to spark creativity and imagination in your young ones. The benefits of arts education are notable and this annual celebration encourages children to explore their artistic talents, develop fine motor + problem-solving skills, and express themselves through hands-on activities. Here are five ways to connect with your kids and make a mess that you don’t have to clean up.

ARTplay Children’s Studio
Let your kids explore their most creative endeavors at one of these art classes. Kids will remember releasing their inhibitions and getting as creatively messy as they please.

Musikgarten of Lexington
Does your child dream of being a rockstar? Or are you looking to bond with your newborn through music? Kids of all ages will remember getting their first true musical experience.

CREATE Studio Kids
Children 4+ can create sculptures of their favorite treats, and design their own castles at one of many classes and camps throughout the week. Kids will remember taking home their very own slime creation.

The Pottery Place
Let the little ones show off their inner Picasso as they paint the piece of their choosing. Kids will have memories that last by bringing home their colorful masterpiece.

Candy Mountain Music
From weekly music lessons to drop-in sing-a-long classes, let your little ones find their voice + learn new skills with instruments and music-based play. Kids will love hearing their favorite stories come to life through song.

There’s no shortage of ways to keep your little ones entertained, enriched + inspired all year long. In fact we have 30 ideas in our kid-friendly activities guide.
